  • Abstract:
    The death rate on Nebraska roadways during 2010 was .97 persons killed

    per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. This is the lowest death rate recorded

    since the state first began keeping motor vehicle crash statistics in 1936.

    The trend of declining death rates has been going on for many years, as

    shown in Figure 1 below. Although the rate fluctuates from year to year,

    the overall trend is significantly downward. Much of this reduction can

    be attributed to improvements in vehicle design, roadway engineering,

    emergency medical services, specific safety programs, enforcement and

    improved driver awareness.

    Figure 2 (page 3) depicts the number of fatal crashes per year for the

    last 10 years. There were 166 fatal crashes in 2010, 39 less than

    were recorded in 2009.

    Fatal accidents make up only a small portion of the total crashes in

    Nebraska. Property damage only (PDO) crashes make up the majority.

    Figure 3 (page 3) shows the percentage distribution of all crash types.

    In 2010, there were 166 fatal crashes, 11,562 injury crashes, and 21,484

    property damage only crashes. Fatal crashes made up .5% of all accidents,

    and injury and PDO crashes made up 34.8% and 64.7%, respectively.
